I know a guy named William
Heís one in a million
Heís always doing good deedsAnd helping people

And William always claims That I should do the same
He says that if I could
The world would be a better place

William itís no mystery
I know how much the world needs meBut it is such a big, big place
You can clearly see

I canít be everywhere at onceItís too hard
In this wide, wide world
Tell me, William, where do I start?

I know it seems impossible
William says to me,
ďItís really not that difficult you seeĒ

Why is it so hard to see?
Youíre just over-thinking things
Itís not so complicated
You donít have to turn the whole world
Itíll keep on spinning take you places near and far
Youíre needed most the place youíre at, so you just start

Wherever in this world you might beItís why weíre in this world you see

William, please understand
I really want to lend a hand
But thereís too many people
I donít know how I can

I canít help everyoneSo please tell
In a world full of people
William who do I help?

I know it seems impossible
William says to me,
ďItís really not that difficult you seeĒ

Why is it so hard to see?
Youíre just over-thinking things Itís not so complicated
You donít have to turn the whole world
Itíll keep on spinning and bring people right up to your door
You canít help everyone, but you can be there for

Whoever in this world you meetWherever in this world you might be
Itís why weíre in this world you see

I really want to help itís true
But thereís no time to
I am such a busy guy
Iíve got† lists
of things to do

I canít solve every problem
No matter how I tryIn such a busy world
William, when will I have the time

I know it seems impossible
William says to me,
ďItís really not that difficult you seeĒ

Why is it so hard to see?
Youíre just over-thinking things
Itís not so complicated

Itíll keep on spinning and send the days flying by
Before itís too late, youíve got to find the time

Whenever in this world have a chanceFor whoever in this world you meet
Wherever in this world you might be
Itís why weíre in this world you see

William thereís no doubt about it
I want to help the world out, butItís overwhelming
I just canít get my arms around it

You know I would
If only I could be like you
But I donít have the confidence to do the things you doYou see

Iím not the strongest
Iím not the bravest
Iím not the smartest
I donít even know what I do best

In a world so bigIn a world so vast
What can one little person do
To make a difference

I know it seems impossible
William says to me,
ďItís really not that difficult you seeĒ

Why is it so hard to see?
Youíre just over-thinking things Itís not so complicated
You donít have to turn the whole world
Itíll keep on spinning and if we all do our part
weíll make a world of difference
so find it in your heart to do

Whatever in this world you can
Whenever in this world you have a chance
For whoever in this world you meet
Wherever in this world you might be
Itís why weíre in this world you see
